On January 21, 2008 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) Turner Classic Movies presented the world broadcast premiere of the movie as part of a night-long marathon of Burnett's movies.

Though the film won the Critics' Award at the Berlin Film Festival and was acclaimed at the Toronto International Film Festival, it never saw popular release due to complications in securing the music rights for the 22 songs on the soundtrack, which included such big names as Dinah Washington, Paul Robeson, Louis Armstrong and Earth, Wind and Fire.
Milestone's recent releases include Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep (www.killerofsheep.com) and Kent Mackenzie's The Exiles (www.exilesfilm.com).
